The 2022-23 Charlotte Hornets season was marked by challenges and underwhelming performance. The team finished with a 27-55 record, placing them near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Injuries plagued key players, including LaMelo Ball, who missed significant time, impacting the team’s ability to find consistency on both ends of the court.
Offensively, the Hornets struggled to maintain pace, ranking low in overall scoring and efficiency metrics. Defensively, they faced issues containing opponents, contributing to their poor record. Despite these setbacks, the season offered glimpses of potential from young talents like Mark Williams, who showed promise in his rookie year.
Off the court, the franchise underwent a significant change with Michael Jordan selling a majority stake, potentially signaling a new direction for the future. The team aims to rebuild and develop its young core, focusing on off-season acquisitions and draft picks to improve its competitiveness in the upcoming seasons.
